Overall very nice and as advertised. Sturdy, portable, very easy to set up, and comfortable for sitting or lying on. We were looking for a portable, sturdy, and inexpensive alternative to a sofa, so we got two of these and arranged them along with pillows. We plan on attaching velcro strips to attach them together securely. It works as a comfortable place for two people to sit, or one person to lounge. We haven't used the storage space yet, but it is nice to have also. Anyway, the only reason why I removed a star is because the ottomans do have a strong and acrid "offgassing" chemical odor. It is definitely dissipating over time, but is still noticeable a few days after unpacking it. This may pose a problem for some people who are sensitive to such things, at least initially.
